Here's a webpage which goes into excruciating detail about the penetration of various sizes of slingshot projectiles into ballistic gelatin (which is designed to simulate human flesh for these purposes).

(15,396 posts)I realize their political side has a tendency to support the right, but then again their job is to assure second amendment rights something our side for some reason likes to deny.
I only wish our leadership would catch up with the times...being regressive on our most important right really hurts us at all levels of governement.

(1,164 posts)puts his signature on the bill if it passes. Might put a little tarnish on the rising star moniker. He endorsed Mittens and Mitt talks a good game on gun rights, but comes up lacking to put the talk into action. But then again, birds of a feather.
Won't it be wonderful in the Garden State when this law passes and crime will no longer be a problem. We will see. Why do I get the feeling that the same folks pushing this legislation are closely related to the ones who want to sell me a bridge?
